PER CURIAM: Sim
Chestnut appeals his guilty plea and sentence for possession with intent to
distribute crack cocaine, second offense.  He argues his guilty plea failed to

brief, pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967) and State
v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss the appeal and
grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

HUFF, WILLIAMS,
and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.

pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
